Movie Quote Quiz

Today’s Movie Quote Quiz is united by one theme, although you’ll have to be a semi-regular reader of this blog to recognize it. If you figure it out, post that in the Comments along with your answers.

Remember not to look the quotes up if you intend to participate. Confine yourself to answering only a couple the first time around – preferably the hard ones – and then return tonight or over the weekend, when you’ll be welcome to help with any remaining quotes.

Ready? Let’s go:

1. “If you can paint I can walk -- anything can happen, right?”

2. “You don't see that? Waiter, I'll begin with a house salad, but I don't want the regular dressing. I'll have the balsamic vinegar and oil, but on the side. And then the salmon with the mustard sauce, but I want the mustard sauce on the side. ‘On the side’ is a very big thing for you.”

3. “If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.”

4. “Dear Lord, We've come to the end of our journey, and in a little while we'll stand before you. I pray for you to be merciful. Judge us not for our weaknesses, but for our love and open the doors of heaven for Charlie and me.”

5. “Your Excellency, I trust you will not find it necessary to use that word again. Were I not completely aware of my duty to my family and to my country, I would not have come back tonight... or indeed ever again!”

6. “You see, you're turning into a kind of serial monogamist. One girlfriend after another, yet you never really let anyone near you. On the contrary... You're affectionate to them and sweet to them. Even to me, although you thought I was an idiot.”

7. “Resolution number one: obviously, will lose20 pounds. Number two: will find nice sensible boyfriend and not continue to form romantic attachments to alcoholics, workaholics, peeping-toms, megalomaniacs, emotional blankwits or perverts.”

8. “We are Siamese if you please.”

9. “Ma chère mademoiselle. It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now, we invite to relax, let us pull up a chair, as the dining room proudly presents... your dinner.”

10. “From the first moment I met you, your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.”

11. “He's stuck, that's what it is. He's in between worlds. You know it happens sometimes that the spirit gets yanked out so fast that the essence still feels it has work to do here.”

12. “She is out foolin' around with that boy until two o'clock in the morning and it has got to stop! I didn't spend 17 years of my life raising a daughter and giving her EVERYTHING, so she could throw it away on a summer romance!”

13. “There's this big concert at the end of term, and Joanna's in it. And I thought, maybe if I was in the band, and played absolutely superbly, there's a chance that she might actually fall in love with me. What do you think?”

All correct so far. I predict No. 15 will be the one that stumps people.

You guys are rolling. I think the only ones remaining are 6 and 15, only one of which would be considered a romantic movie in the traditional sense. The other does have "love" in the title, though.

#15 sounds like Woody Allen. Love and Death?

(L & D-Is that even a movie?)

Posted By: Lu | Jun 6, 2014 2:23:03 PM

Correct! Someone mentioned that when I did my Best Romantic Movies list last week. That's also where I came up with Last of the Mohicans, which actually is sort of romantic, in a really violent kind of way.

Posted By: bill white | Jun 6, 2014 2:23:54 PM

Last of the Mohicans is more like GWTW, a great war/historical drama w/ romantic elements rather than a pure romantic movie.

(Of the romantic movies, I would have added the teen angst films like Clueless and sixteen Candles.)

Posted By: Lu | Jun 6, 2014 2:33:40 PM

I'll buy Sixteen Candles but not Clueless. It's a great movie, but it is NOT a romance.

No. 6..."Four Weddings and a Funeral". Very under appreciated British comedy.

Posted By: Michael | Jun 6, 2014 2:47:14 PM

That's the last one. Well done.
